Rick Ross is speaking out about DJ Khaled’s surprising marriage proposal to Nicki Minaj via an uploaded video, saying he heard it was going to happen before it did.

"It was some chatter going around, but I can't say that I knew, but it was some chatter," he told Los Angeles radio station Power 106 "Time to sit that a-- on his lap."

Ross and Khaled go way back, before hitting it big they were aspiring rappers together in Miami. But his friend didn’t let him know about the proposal ahead of time.

When asked if he thought it was genuine, he said “He has a ring valued at about half-a-million dollars.” He added, "If they tie the knot, I have to most definitely represent like a boss.”

In the video, Khaled tells Minaj through the camera “Nicki Minaj, I'm at MTV. I love you. I like you. I want you. I want you to be mine. I'm here at MTV because it's a worldwide network. Only reason I'm not telling you this face to face is because I understand that you're busy. Ima be honest with you, I wanna marry you."
